Through using different materials and procedures, these nine artists demonstrate a variety of approaches towards reductive and concept based art. The pieces are either painted, constructed, or using found materials and even though they are reduced to the essentials, the results vary drastically.

The Gallery Sonja Roesch is pleased to announce Accrochage, a group exhibition with nine artists exploring the different approaches to reductive art. The exhibition will open January 17th and close on February 28th, 2009.

Through using different materials and procedures, these nine artists demonstrate a variety of approaches towards reductive and concept based art. The pieces are either painted, constructed, or using found materials and even though they are reduced to the essentials, the results vary drastically.

Ruth Pastine uses tiny brush strokes with oil paint to build up the layers of the painting in an almost meditative, obsessive way to achieve a glowing luminosity. Hills Snyder’s conceptual site-specific placed pieces are constructed with colored plexiglass that simply use the outline or shape to communicate a reference to the viewer. Mario Reis submerges the canvas into the river, which then collects the natural pigments and sediments and the movement from the river. Matthew Deleget’s piece ‘I love you’ is made up of found colored plastic bags, which represent the color names citation in a Beatles song.

Opening Reception: Saturday, January 17, 2009, 5-7pm
